Students seeking admission into City Tech can initiate the on-the-spot admission process after April 11 for the summer and fall semester and October 1 for the winter and spring semester by reading the materials at http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/admissions/index.shtml and subsequently by bringing all necessary materials to the Office of Admissions during normal business hours. For additional information please call 718.260.5250.

Readmission of Former Students

If you formerly attended City Tech but have not been in attendance for the entire
previous semester or longer, you must apply to the Office of the Registrar at
New York City College of Technology for readmission. A $10 application fee is
required. Readmission applications should be filed by December 1 for the spring
semester and by June 15 for the fall semester. Thereafter, readmission will be
on the basis of space available.

Direct On-the-Spot Admission

If you currently hold a U.S. high school diploma, have received a state General
Equivalency Diploma by virtue of satisfactory scores on the G.E.D. examinations
or currently attend or previously attended an accredited U.S. college, it may
be possible for you to apply for a preliminary acceptance to City Tech. For further
information on On-The-Spot Admissions, call the admissions office.

Transfer Students

If you have attended one or more colleges or universities and any previous college
work has been in the United States, you must file an Application for Advanced
Standing (Transfer) Admission.

All completed applications received on or before September 15 for January admission
or February 1 for September admission will be processed first. Applications received
after those deadlines will be processed on a space-available basis.

To be eligible for transfer admission, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for all previous college work. Where there are extraordinary extenuating circumstances, students denied transfer admission because of a grade point average below 2.0 may appeal their denial in writing to the Director of Admissions, who will refer the matter to the Admissions Appeal Committee. Some degree programs require a higher grade point average for transfer admission, and others may restrict transfer admission at the point that seats are no longer available.

College Preparatory Initiative

The City University of New York has instituted a program, effective Fall 1993,
for entering students called the College Preparatory Initiative.

Students entering a senior college will be expected to have 13 units of high
school work in academic courses, including 1 unit of laboratory science, 2
units of mathematics, 4 units of English and 2 units of social science.

High school students should consult with guidance counselors to ascertain
what courses are considered to be academic within the English, science, mathematics,
social science, foreign language and the fine and performing arts curriculum.

All entrants will be informed of the preparatory units that have been accepted
as a result of high school preparation. GED students will receive units in
English and mathematics based on their test scores.

Students who have not completed the academic unit expectations prior to enrolling
in the university will be required to demonstrate skills and knowledge in the
discipline areas in which they lack preparation. In most cases, this will be
accomplished by taking a designated college course. Students will be informed
of alternative methods for demonstrating competence. This requirement does
not affect your admissions to City Tech but is necessary for graduation.

Basic Requirements

To apply for admission to New York City College of Technology, you must:
File a formal application prior to the semester in which you plan to register.
Application must be accompanied by a non refundable $65 fee (freshmen) or $70 fee (transfer) (money orders only).

Have a high school diploma or the high school equivalency diploma. The latter
should be accompanied by proof of satisfactory final score and a statement
of diploma issuance.

A new immunization law requires all students born on or after January 1, 1957
enrolling at New York City College of Technology to be immunized against mumps,
measles and rubella. See Immunization Requirements for further details.

Before you complete the application, it is important to select your intended
major area. You will apply directly to a specific college curriculum and session
(day or evening). The application has room for 6 choices. Indicate your choice
of curriculum. You will find descriptions of the various majors and programs
elsewhere in this catalog.

Admission to the college is granted only for the semester of acceptance. If
you do not register for the semester of acceptance, you must file another application
for reactivation of your application before you can register for the following
semester. If more than a semester has elapsed between the time you first applied
and the semester in which you plan to register, you must reapply through the
City Tech admissions office. If you are currently attending or have attended
another college, re-apply through U.A.P.C.

Additional Criteria

The college reserves the right to deny admission to any student if in its judgment, the presence of that student on campus poses an undue risk to the safety or security of the college or the college community. That judgment will be based on an individualized determination taking into account any information the college has about the crime committed by the student and the particular circumstances of the college, including the presence of a child care center, summer camp, public school or public school students on the campus. In addition, the college may consider factors such as the amount of time since the crime was committed, the amount of jail time served by the student, the number of years the student was on probation or parole, whether the student has satisfied probation or parole requirements at the time of the student's application, whether the student has completed drug, alcohol, sex offender or other treatment, and what work or educational experience the student has had after the conviction. Finally, if the student is known to have been assisted by a CUNY-sponsored or other re-entry program or initiative, the college will consult with a counselor or representative from said program.
